Activities Outside of Neuf's Class

My activities outide of school are really random and varied. There is the obvious dancing but I bet you never knew I do some of the following things:

1. Swimming

There's a pool at my Amenity Building so it's hard not to swim on good days.

2. Basketball

Even though my hoop is small (because it's my brother's) I play basketball with my brothers. If you guys knew me from before, you might remember back then (Grade 2-7) ball was life. Then I was injured in Grade 7 but it's okay. I play with my brother Carlos and I help prepare him with simple skills so he can join a league (return to Filcansa maybe?).

3. Martial Arts

This is the most surprising for y'all in my opinion. It's hard to do without a punching bag but I somewhat do martial arts. I was actually able to go to JP's today and use his bag and that was fun. #iLoveThrowingElbows #UseForDefenseOnly http://youtu.be/53kGfnDkNNY

4. Choreograph

In my opinion, dancing and choreographing is different. Dancing is doing movements how you're taught. Choreographing is doing it how you like. When I get bored I sometimes just head over to the Amenity Building's Yoga Room and choreograph. A problem I have with this is that whatever song I tru to choreograph to, I end up hating it for listening to it too much. But it's definemitely something I do.

Dance News

As of today, I've come a long way in terms of dance. Around this time last year, I'm (re)discovering my love for dance because a few friends and I would go down to the Studio every P5. Fast forward to now and I'm on the Junior Team and I'm in a Senior Small Team. We had some great moments, like the 1st place we got at Outbreak. And the disappointments like our 5th at Shamrock. But as a team we get back up and continue grinding forward.

The upcoming week is a CRAZY dance week for me. Wednesday, is the Breakout Small Teams Competition. Thursday is Unleash the Stars. Saturday is Breakout Large Teams. To top it off I probably have morning practices all week.

This post is basically an update and I really hope you wish us luck, this is the All Boys Debut (we still don't have a name) and I'm competing in Senior Category, which is big for me, it's my first year in this scene. I wonder what Grade 9 Chris would say.

The Little Buddies

For the past few weeks we've still been visiting Notch and friends. This time though, Gavin was able to come along. But something I've noticed is that I really need to do more when handling Notch. You know. Be more specific. He seems to follow up really well but always drifts off. And he's a natural at the activities we do, he seems to know what he's doing. But unless I tell him to stay put, he's wandering around and not joining us when called over to. And I'm not perfect, I seem to forget to do a few things but I am learning a lot from these experiences. Notch, you're a good kid, it's time we build that friendship up higher :)
